Toy 180s (from nay to yay and vice versa)

[BruiseLee]

When YOTG Soundwave was announced I had a ROFLMAO moment. Could not believe that they would design something with that combo of clear and brown. Gave it the big thumbs down and was happy that I would be saving money here. Well that was about a year ago and well guess what I have brought home today. Yup, Goatwave.

After looking at vids and seeing it in store it really grew on me. It was one of those classic looks better in person than in pics toys. I do love the oddball TF stuff but at $299? Well for $141.20 (additional 10% and added the $20 gift card value) that was the clincher. So that's my nay to yay. Still need to think about my yay to nay.

Do any of you have a TF that you weren't keen on which you then saw in a new light or had something which went from being liked to meh?

I used to think movie toys were great, and the more complex the better. Now I hate the vast majority of them.

Initially I thought CW Silver Megatron was quite dull and I wouldn't trouble myself with it. After getting CW Armada Megatron I found it such a good toy that I felt the mould was worth owning twice, which is just about the highest praise I ever give.

More generally, there's a whole bunch of toys I once owned that I sold for space reasons and now regret. On the other hand... well, I once owned a near-complete collection of Cybertron figures, and as great as that line was, there were also some real stinkers in there.

My yay to nay is constantly chug figures, lately notably menasor and defensor (i still have takara superion just because it's better than the other 2), and will be getting UW devestator too to sit in my mp area. Whenever I get into the lines i always end up disappointed, from classics autobot cars/jetfire/seekers right up to reveal the shield, i get in, then later offload them.

As for nay to yay, I'm in the same boat about Goatwave, I have a gift card from work so I may just pick him up, if I can bring myself to justify having 2 soundwaves and 11 tapes... (Second mention goes to MP acid storm. Some people might think why would you not like him? But i sold the first one i bought, still sealed, then picked one up cheap from tru online (paid <80 each) and the box was beat up so I decided to open and display it but still intended to resell. Now he's my favourite seeker and one of my favourite MPs, pity I cant be bothered playing too much with him, that transformation).

G1 Sunstorm

I actually only wanted Road Hauler in 2003, but I ended up getting Sunstorm too because I 'had to.' I initially tried to sell off my Sunstorm (for about $40) and nobody was even remotely interested. Then in 2004, Dreamwave went and made Sunstorm a cool character, and now I'm glad that I got this toy.

I was also in the same boat about not wanting Goatwave... Then I got a $50 Myer gift card and the price finally came down so I jumped on it after saying for over a year that I wasnt going to get it...

I was also going to skip the RID line (I still bought some for the kids) but after getting Warrior Drift I actually liked the toys so I grabbed a few more, Bumblebee, Strongarm, Steeljaw, Sideswipe & Jazz. Pretty happy with them actually.

I think there are a few of us out there in that boat.
When I sold my loose G1 Victory Leo and Star Saber it was around a year later that I just let out a great big NOOOOOOO!!!! About six months after that I was lucky enough to go to Japan and they were my two main goals, I found them and now I have two stunning, unplayed with, pieces of Japanese G1 glory

I missed the yay to nay part in my earlier post. My yay was every single Transformer ever made, to a huge nay, lucky all this happened before the movies but sadly not before animorphs Anyway, the collection has well and truly been updated since then with a lot of nays and me still having a roof over my head

I wasn't interested in generations leader jetfire at all when he first came out, thought the voyager I had was fine but now I find myself wanting it, searching the boards for one for sale

Check out Toys R Us, they have him for about $90 (well at least the one in Parramatta does)
